Offspring of Nursery Teachers Association

Location: A Berber rug shop

(after 45 minutes of choosing)

Merchant: Is THIS one OK?

Me: The size is perfect BUT the color is too dark. If you had the same one in light saffron yellow it would be BRILLIANT

Merchant:(brings out a rather large carpet suitable for 20 kids to play on)

Me: Errr, this one is only suitable for my mother's nursery room NOT for my bedroom

Merchant: (instead of sounding annoyed his eyes light up)Your mum is a nursery teacher???

Me: (deadpan) Yes

Merchant: OMG! Mine too! Which method? Montessori?????

Me: (to make his day) Yes!

Merchant: WOW! Can't believe it! What does she teach French????

Me: (goes in a fit of laughter)

Merchant: (eyebrow raise) What?

Me: Nothing. Don't worry about it. No, she is a regular teacher.

Side note: The laughter was generated by the thought of my mother speaking French probably not too correctly lol
